The Story Behind Catered Financials
Hi, I'm Marla.
I'm a food-loving, finance nerd, entrepreneur with a passion for helping people feel confident with money. Before I found my way to financial education, I was immersed in the culinary world for 15 years. I earned a degree in Entrepreneurship with a minor in Food Systems from the University of Vermont, attended culinary school, and built a career across various sectors of the food industry. Eventually I launched my own food truck and catering business in the Adirondacks.
​
I knew from past experiences how notoriously difficult this new venture would be. Razor thin margins and high failure rates proved that passion and kitchen skills wouldn't be enough. Despite my education and experience, managing the financial side of a business felt daunting. Talking to others, it became clear that a lack of financial education was not just a personal frustration, it was a systemic issue.
​
What first started as a survival tactic quickly became a calling. I dove deep into financial literacy, reshaped my business, and completely transformed my own relationship with money. I discovered that finance isn’t just about numbers: it’s about clarity, confidence, and creating a life on your own terms.
​
​Catered Financials was born from that journey.
​​
​​Today I have the privilege of helping individuals, families, and small business's navigate their finances with intention. My hope is to teach them that money isn't something to be feared or misunderstood. It's a powerful tool, that when managed effectively, can foster long-term stability, freedom, and personal fulfillment.
